Women's Fiction
The second of seven children (with another on the way), Hallie Palmer has one dream: to make it to Vegas. Normally blessed with an uncanny gift for winning at games of chance, sheβs just hit a losing streak. Sheβs been kicked out of the casino she frequents during school hours, lost all her money for a car on a bad bet at the track, and has been grounded by her parents. Hallie decides the time as come to cut her losses. Answering an ad in the local paper, she lands a job as yard person at the elegant home of the sixty-ish Mrs. Olivia Stockton, a wonderfully eccentric rebel who scribes acclaimed poetry along with the occasional soft-core porn story. Under the same wild roof is Oliviaβs son, Bernard, an antiques dealer and gourmet cook who turns out mouthwatering cuisine and scathing witticisms, and Gil, Bernardβs lover, whose down-to-earth sensibilities provide a perfect foil to the Stocktonsβ outrageous joie de vivre. Here, in this anything-goes household, Hallie has found a new family. And sheβs about to receive the education of her life.
